#5. Someone is abusing his power backstage to control Adam Pearce

Adam Pearce is the General Manager of Monday Night RAW, but it seems someone is abusing his power to control the Authority Figure. Pearce not only lifted Bron Breakker’s suspension but also included all The Vision members in the traditional Rumble match.

Additionally, Adam was spotted talking to someone backstage on a phone call, reporting on the situation of the red brand. So, it seems that the mystery man is not only supporting The Vision on WWE RAW but also abusing his power to control the GM.

#4. Finn Balor is not turning babyface anytime soon

Fans were hoping for the babyface turn of Finn Balor, especially after the heart-warming moment between Balor and CM Punk on RAW last week. During this week, the ex-Universal Champion also expressed his appreciation for the Second City Saint.

However, in the ending of the show, Finn destroyed the Voice of the Voiceless. The actions of the Judgment Day member subtly confirm that he will not turn into a babyface star anytime soon, and instead, it’s part of a long-term WWE storyline in 2026.

#3. AJ Styles’ final night on WWE RAW

AJ Styles and CM Punk were engaged in a great segment in the opening of Monday Night RAW. Later in the main event, they locked horns in a banger match, which ended in disqualification, thanks to Finn Balor.

The Phenomenal One was emotional during his entrance on the red brand. All this development subtly confirms this night before Rumble could be the final night of AJ on RAW, as he may retire against Gunther in Saudi Arabia.

#2. AJ Lee is coming back since Becky Lynch has declared herself for the Royal Rumble

Becky Lynch has officially declared her entry in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. The current Women’s IC Champion made this announcement in a backstage segment. This development subtly implies that AJ Lee is coming back in the upcoming Premium Live event.

Lee might eliminate the Man from the traditional Rumble match, setting the stage for a mid-card Championship at WWE WrestleMania 42.

#1. Rey Mysterio’s WWE Royal Rumble spot in jeopardy after another possible injury

Rey Mysterio and Austin Theory clashed on Monday Night RAW, and the A-Town Down star scored the victory with the help of The Vision members. Soon after the Theory victory, the referee checked the Master of 619 and threw an X sign, which usually refers to a real-life injury and medical assistance.

So, if Rey suffers a serious injury on RAW, this means that his Royal Rumble spot is in jeopardy after his incident. For those unaware, the Hall of Famer declared his Rumble entry last week on the red brand.
